Tired of chasing symptoms, following rigid protocols, or dropping thousands on lab tests—only to feel stuck in the same cycle? You're not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by Andrea Nakayama, Functional Medicine Nutritionist, educator, speaker, and host of the award-winning 15-Minute Matrix podcast.

Andrea shares how the conventional model—even when it's labeled "functional"—often misses the most critical piece of healing: the person. We explore how narrative, nervous system regulation, and foundational lifestyle shifts are often more powerful than the next flashy protocol.

This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness, burnout, or information overload—and wondering if there’s a simpler, more grounded way forward. Spoiler alert: there is.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

• Why lab tests and protocols often fail people with chronic conditions
• The power of narrative medicine and why your story matters
• How “slow down to speed up” might be the missing key to healing
• Andrea’s Three Roots, Many Branches framework
• What true functional nutrition looks like (and why it’s not just about food)
• Why nervous system safety is non-negotiable for digestion and healing
• How to navigate the gray area between restriction and nourishment

Join me, Dr. Andrea Moore, on this episode of the Unweaving Chronic Pain Podcast as we confront the frustrations many face on their healing journey. We’ll walk through why your inner child work might feel stagnant and how to align your goals to make your practice more effective.

Inner parenting can be a delicate balance, and understanding its impact on emotional well-being is crucial. We'll discuss how isolated incidents of neglect are less likely to cause lasting trauma unless they become a pattern, alleviating some of the pressure parents often feel.

True healing begins when the adult self takes charge. We’ll explore why approaching inner child work from a regulated, mature perspective is essential, and how integrating the adult self prevents common pitfalls like spiritual bypassing. Understand the necessity of setting boundaries between your adult responsibilities and inner child dynamics to foster authentic healing. And finally, discover how personal growth and taking responsibility for your adult self can lead to joy, fulfillment, and a life free from chronic pain and anxiety.
